Meet the SkyHeart Team
Empowerment, empathy, compassion, and trust are the pillars upon which I build a safe healing space for clients to overcome obstacles. Along with a secure therapeutic relationship, I use interventions proven effective such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT).
​
I have completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. When working with couples, I channel these skills towards building a platform to increase relationship intimacy through healthy communication, conflict resolution, building love maps, and making life dreams come true.
​
For several years I have worked with individuals, couples, groups, and families from diverse backgrounds, propelling all towards their full potential. Ethically, I use only evidence based practices supported by groundbreaking research, which provide clients with interventions demonstrated to work best for their unique struggles.
​
I look forward to providing an engaging, educational, and life altering experience in all sessions, increasing mental strength, and providing a smoother ride ahead in life.

I truly believe that we are all capable of overcoming any obstacle given the right tools to do so. While I cannot make any changes for you, I will empower you with the skills needed to feel as though you can accomplish your goals. I operate from a strengths-based, person-centered perspective to meet you where you are, and help identify characteristics that can be used to help facilitate change.
Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals, couples, and groups. I have experience treating a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, ADHD, and sexual issues. I have also assisted couples with developing healthy communication skills, strengthening their conflict resolution, and rebuilding their connection.
I utilize various approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, as well as Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy. While I tailor my techniques to suit the needs of my clients, the most important factor of my work is the therapeutic relationship that we develop. I value a dynamic built on trust, empathy, and collaboration.
I cannot promise that our therapeutic journey will be an easy one, but I am confident that it will be one full of understanding, persistence, learning, growth, and support!
Life gets messy, there is no doubt about that. I strive to create a casual and comfortable environment in my sessions where the underlying principle is that all individuals possess the qualities necessary to flourish. This means that together, we focus on empowerment, responsibility, and accountability amidst making positive changes that are in line with the vision you have for your life.
My humanistic and solution-focused approach will help you get to a place of feeling understood and accepted while developing heightened emotional intuition so that you can begin to take control of your life in areas that once seemed unbalanced.
I have worked with a broad range of ages, ethnicities, and issues while using a unique blend of evidence-based practices to help individuals gain clarity in their lives, define goals and develop a game plan to start smashing roadblocks and making real progress toward their ideal lifestyle and emotional wellbeing.
​
Whether leveling up your confidence, building intimacy and closeness in relationships, achieving peak performance in your profession, or grabbing a hold of the everyday stressors in your life, we will design creative interventions specifically tailored to your goals.
